About the nursery

Rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Pembury Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and care to children from birth to 5 years old.

We're in Lower Clapton, close to Hackney Downs and Hackney Central stations. We're a light and roomy nursery with two gardens - one for under 2s and one for pre-schoolers.

The children enjoy activities from learning Spanish to cooking, construction, growing fruit and veg and more! They love to get out and about too, enjoying outings to the local shops and library.
